jecsham Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 It would be great if Affinity desktop programs had an auto-update feature, without having to manually download files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Update Pop-up, the only difference that our actual download button would make would be that instead of downloading a file in the browser, it would download it internally, you can keep pressing "cancel" if you want.

Pšenda Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 It's hard to guess what you actually imagine under the "auto-update" function. Under it, I imagine an automatic update without the intervention of the user, which I definitely do not want. The current way of downloading the installation package suits me fully - I install the application on multiple PCs, so I don't have to download the packages repeatedly.

paristo Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I don't really see a requirement for the automatic updating. As I find the download option to be very simple. What I would take in other hand, is to avoid clicking "OK" for each time I launch app when I do not want to update it. So having just a "Help > Check Updates" option would be better for me. I as well love the function now that "Download" directs automatically to proper site and there is link to latest one as well the few previous ones. So I can download the proper file and perform the update as I want. While small automation are nice here and there, this is not one of those that requires it.
